Chapter 248 Women are just stumbling blocks [Limited]
“After going round and round, I’m back.”
After so many things, Eros finally returned to Argos city.
Farewell to Nyx, Eros has no plans to go to Semene for the time being.
Now that the materials are ready, he will go directly to Prometheus and the others and go straight to Hephaestus.
When you get to Mount Olympus later, you will have enough time to take care of Semene.
Eros came to the port and went to find Cecrops who was waiting for him here.
It’s just that Cecrops didn’t see it. Instead, he saw Prometheus who had parted ways in Arcadia.
She waved to Eros and saw Eros among the crowd from a distance.
“You are finally back. I thought you had been captured by the Original Mother Goddess.”
There was no big fluctuation on Prometheus's face, as if everything was as expected by her, and he was waiting for Eros here early.
"A little trouble, just a waste of time. Where is Cecrops?"
"She went one step ahead and went to the port on the Attica side, where Lili Munos Island is closer."
She explained calmly, still as calm as before.
“I’ll wait for you to meet up here, and then I’ll start over there.”
Eros didn't care much about such trivial matters.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, there was a slight commotion at the port.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Eros saw a group of guards robbing slaves and laborers.
Like catfish in a school of sardines, the entire port instantly became chaotic.
Eros and Prometheus avoided the commotion caused by these guards and left the port.
"Didn't Inachus say that he had arranged his own affairs a long time ago? What's going on?"
On the way to the Attica region, Eros and Prometheus were chatting casually about what had just happened. knowledge.
"It is indeed arranged, and there will be no disturbances in the new king's succession."
Prometheus finally showed a somewhat interesting look on his face, and she looked at it Looking at Eros, he said.
“The snatching of slaves is said to be because the new king of Argos received a prophecy from an angel in his sleep.”
"His youngest daughter will give birth to a child who will destroy his throne, which frightens him."
"So he ordered his soldiers to prepare to build a high tower and forbid Anyone touches his daughter."
Looking at the amused smile on Prometheus's face, Eros made a bold guess.
“The one who gave him the prophecy couldn’t be you, right?”
Prometheus smiled and did not answer, but not answering was acquiescence.
"Ha, it's really a very traditional prophecy with bad taste."
Eros complained. This is really a classic prophecy of gods and gods.
The person who is prophesied will often make a fuss and finally send himself up to complete the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Just like the new king of Argos City, if he really couldn’t bear to part with the throne, why not just behead his little daughter?
Building a tall tower may protect you from humans, but you can never protect yourself from gods.
One glance at Ding Zhen and he concluded that he was working in vain.
Being able to make such a wise operation, needless to say, Eros knew that it was definitely the crazy guidance of a bunch of gods related to emotions.
Another characteristic of Greece is that various emotions, such as fear, joy, suspicion, etc., also have corresponding gods. The Greeks would attribute all their inexplicable emotions to the guidance of many gods in the underworld.
Just like the stage of an opera performance, statues of gods often lowered from the stage with silk threads to describe the inner emotions of the characters.
So in Greece, don’t wonder why some people who have been smart all their lives suddenly make very stupid moves.
This is a normal phenomenon in Greece, but in the Far East, it means that the calamity has come, and the fire of ignorance arises, paralyzing the five senses and confusing the mind.
It’s just that in Greece, these works are done by the gods themselves.
The two just chatted about this topic for a while, and Eros didn't pay too much attention to the princess who was about to be imprisoned in the tower.
According to the usual practice, she had to be imprisoned for ten or eight years before her turn came.
It was still early. Even if he wanted to hit the autumn wind, it wasn't time yet.
But now, Eros only has his holy clothes in mind, and he is on his way impatiently.
Women and other things will only become a stumbling block on the way forward.
This time only.
Prometheus held the boat and crossed the not-so-wide strait between Argos and Attica.
Although the two places are separated by only a not-so-wide strait, the styles of the two areas are completely different.
Argos has built a majestic acropolis and city-state, but although the land in Attica is wider, there are not many traces of man-made construction.
Eros and Prometheus were not slow, and the human settlements along the way, which were like primitive tribes, were not worth stopping for them.
When Prometheus took Eros to the starting point agreed with Cecrops, he did not see Cecrops.
The ship is parked empty on the coast, with only a few crew members staying here.
"Where are the Cecrops?"
Prometheus looked at the several crew members in front of him. They all had injuries more or less on their bodies.
She was keenly aware of the smell of the incident.
The crew members were also very excited when they saw their captain finally back.
"Captain! The first mate has gone out to fight!"
Their simple and crude answers made Prometheus silent for a moment.
Although they have also engaged in plundering other ships at sea, it should be said that they would not do it here.
“Tell me more carefully, what happened?”
The crew members were talking about it, and Prometheus slowly pieced together what happened from their mouths. the whole story.
While these crew members were stationed here, when communicating with people in the Attica region, they always showed off their glorious resumes intentionally or unintentionally.
We have been to the great furnace where Vulcan forged artifacts, gone deep into the endless sea of Oceanus, and arrived at the city of gods under the maelstrom.
This kind of bragging is generally not a problem.
But it happened that some people believed their words and thought that since they came back from these places, they must have brought a lot of treasures and wealth.
The person who believed these words is the current uncrowned king of Attica, the demigod Aktaios born from the earth.
This tyrannical demigod monarch directly brought people over to try to rob it, and then confronted Cecrops.
Two demigods who were also born from the earth, this time is really exciting.
Prometheus' expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
There is not much to say in the early stage of Athens, just go through it quickly.
